Kushina Uzumaki's Last Wishes
"Whoosh!"
Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared in front of a small two-story room.
"Minato..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi softly.
He knew exactly where he was.
He looked very familiar.
Naruto Uzumaki's residence.
He used to come here often.
"Don't call my name," Minato Namikaze said coldly.
He pulled Hiruzen Sarutobi and knocked on Naruto Uzumaki's door.
Knock knock knock.
A sound was heard.
Soon, rustling sounds came from inside the house.
"Who is it? Is it Shikamaru?"
The sounds coming from inside the room made Minato Namikaze somewhat disoriented.
He had secretly observed Naruto Uzumaki beforehand, which is why he knew Naruto's room was here.
His six whiskers made it easy for him to recognize his son.
"Strange, why isn't he answering?"
Naruto Uzumaki muttered to himself inside the room.
He lazily walked to the door in his slippers, his hand poised to Gate of Opening. "Shikamaru, you're not saying anything this time, are you planning to...?"
"Squeak."
The door opened.
It wasn't Shikamaru Nara who came into Naruto's view.
Instead, it was someone I didn't know.
All in yellow.
He was wearing a white robe.
Upon closer inspection, it looked somewhat familiar.
"You... you are..."
Naruto Uzumaki frowned slightly.
But just then, he noticed the short man next to him.
"Grandpa Hokage?!"
"How did you manage to crawl out of the cemetery?!"
Naruto Uzumaki's heart tightened, and he instantly took a few steps back.
Hiruzen Sarutobi:...
Minato Namikaze pulled Hiruzen Sarutobi into Naruto Uzumaki's house and casually closed the door.
"Naruto, have you always lived in this place?"
He looked the room up and down.
The room was very small.
It looks like a square box.
Apart from a tiny kitchen and bathroom, it looks pitifully small.
At a glance, the entire layout of the house can be easily seen.
The sleeping position is so close that it's visible as soon as you Gate of Opening.
"Y-you are..." Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head.
He looks so familiar... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?
"..."
Soon, the Hokage Rock flashed through his mind.
The next second, his eyes flashed!
"Oh!"
"You are the Fourth Generation Lord Hokage!!"
Naruto Uzumaki excitedly pointed at Minato Namikaze, "I remember now! I even drew your portrait when I was little..."
At this point, he quickly covered his mouth and smiled.
"The Fourth Hokage... is that you, sir?"
Minato Namikaze heard Naruto address him by that name, his eyes instantly dimmed.
Upon receiving this title, everything else becomes meaningless.
Everything is clear now.
It has been confirmed that Hiruzen Sarutobi concealed the fact that Minato Namikaze was Naruto Uzumaki's father.
"Wait a minute... I remember the Fourth Generation Lord Hokage on Hokage Rock died a long time ago... How come the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage climbed out together!"
"And they even came looking for me!"
Naruto Uzumaki shuddered.
My whole body trembled.
"Could it be because of the Hokage Rock I drew for them that they can't rest in peace even after death?"
"Are they trying to drag me to the Yomi?!"
Thinking of this, he staggered back a few steps and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
"No, don't kill me! I'll eat on time. I'm already quite big, but I'm not big enough yet! I'll never stay up late again! I haven't made enough friends yet! I promise I'll shower on time from now on!"
I'm not even married yet! Lord Hokage, have mercy!
Naruto Uzumaki buried his head in the blanket, his butt sticking out and trembling.
However, his random words immediately stunned Minato Namikaze.
This... isn't this what Kushina said to Naruto back then...?
He tensed up instantly.
The image of Nine-Tails piercing him and Kushina Uzumaki with a single fingernail flashed through his mind.
Kushina Uzumaki gave Naruto Uzumaki a lot of advice at the end.
"So... he... remembered everything..." Minato Namikaze's eyes reddened slightly. "Kushina, Naruto, he remembered everything..."
"Don't be a picky eater, eat more, grow up quickly, bathe on time, don't stay up late, make more trustworthy friends, study Ninjutsu diligently, and respect your teachers..."
I can only drink after I turn twenty... I'll get married... I love you.
The words Kushina Uzumaki had said replayed in Minato Namikaze's mind.
His vivid image was as if Kushina Uzumaki were still by his side.
"Naruto, turn around. We're not dead... no, we won't hurt you anyway."
Minato Namikaze spoke gently.
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki's trembling lessened slightly.
He was wrapped in a blanket, with only his head sticking out.
"Really?
"Has the Lord Hokage forgiven me for drawing on your face?"
He still asked hesitantly.
Minato Namikaze was taken aback. "Drawing on my face?"
"Yes, yes, I used to draw all the pictures on the Hokage Rock..."
Naruto Uzumaki spoke.
Minato Namikaze suddenly realized.
She smiled slightly. "She has a cute personality, very much like Kushina."
"Kushina? Who is she?"
Naruto Uzumaki asked curiously.
Minato Namikaze's upturned lips slowly faded, and he looked intently at Naruto Uzumaki, "Kushina Uzumaki, she is your mother."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat.
It's over.
They're preparing to torture me.
"What!"
Naruto Uzumaki jumped out of bed in a flash.
The blanket slowly fell onto the bed.
"What... what did you just say?! My mother! Kushina Uzumaki!"
He remembered the name immediately.
No one had ever told him about his parents.
Even the Third Hokage, who was standing next to him, was someone he had seen since childhood.
But every time he asked, the other party only told him that he was an orphan and that his parents had died in the disaster caused by the Nine-Tails Fox.
His parents' names were never mentioned!
Now I finally know a name!
Although its authenticity was uncertain, it was enough to excite him.
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki's agitated Minato Namikaze, Minato felt even more pained.
He glared resentfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt Minato Namikaze's gaze and quickly lowered his head.
"Yes, she is your mother. You can tell this from the Third Hokage, whom you know well; he knows it very well."
Minato Namikaze looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and spoke to Naruto, word by word.
"Real?"
"Third Hokage, are you going to tell me about my parents?"
Naruto Uzumaki excitedly approached Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Compared to Minato Namikaze, he was closer to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, when Hiruzen Sarutobi was a child, he often accompanied him as an old man while eating grilled fish and the like.
Minato Namikaze... This was their first meeting.
Minato Namikaze felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing Naruto's words.
"Third Hokage, it seems Naruto has asked about me and Kushina again."
"You and Kushina?"
Naruto Uzumaki frowned, having caught the key information.
What you mean by that...?
"Who are you..."
